Toy figure with accessories

Abstract

A toy figure has a head, a trunk, legs and arms wherein accessories such as representations of clothes made from an essentially non-deformable material can be mounted at the region of the trunk. To enable accessories to be mounted easily and reliably, to afford wide freedom in the shaping of the accessories and closely to approximate them to the natural appearance, the front and/or rear of the trunk has at least one detent member at which an accessory can be removable secured by a counterpiece fixed to the accessory. The accessory extends only over the front or rear of the toy figure and laterally around the trunk to about the vertical plane passing through connections of the arms.

I claim as my invention: 
     
       1. In a toy figure made from plastics including a head, a trunk, a pair of arms having pivot connections to said trunk, a pair of legs and a representation of a garment piece fittable to at least the trunk, wherein the garment piece completely surrounds the trunk of the toy figure and is divided into a front portion and a rear portion along a vertical plane passing through said pivot connections of the arms and which have side edges alignable with each other, the front and the rear portions of the garment piece being respectively separately securable on the trunk by means of a single detachable detent connection at the frontside and a single detent connection at the rearside of the toy figure, the detent connections each comprising a detent member and a detent counter member. 
     
     
       2. A toy figure according to claim 1 wherein the detent member is constituted by a recess in the trunk into which the detent counter member which comprises an internal projection of the garment piece is pressable in the fitted position. 
     
     
       3. A toy figure according to claim 2 wherein the recess of the trunk and the projection of the garment piece are circular in plan view. 
     
     
       4. A toy figure according to claim 2 wherein the cross-section of the recess in the trunk widens in the direction away from the trunk surface and the associated projection widens correspondingly. 
     
     
       5. A toy figure according to claim 1 wherein at least the front and rear portions with their associated detent counter-members are made of one piece from a slightly resiliently deformable plastics material. 
     
     
       6. A toy figure according to claim 1, wherein the internal surfaces of the front and rear portions of the garment piece are fitted to those regions of the trunk surfaces which are covered by the garment piece in the use position.
